There's us, there's everyone over there In the deep silence, love will be our affair Constant, thoughtful, beautiful are you in the sky Once more, let me see the infinite sparkles in your eye We are here, focus on what you can see Why, my love, why the next morning, you aren't here? I ask, out of confusion, the reason you chose instead Am I too unsuited for your wishes, not met? Because I remember the time I first got you in my arms When you are going through things, I held you despite swarms Back then, even in the moonlight, I held you close "One more day," I whisper in the darkness, morose
The story could have been fun, bright, and rosy But things turned dark, grim, and dirty We could have been what we dreamed to be But love failed us, so why should we be sorry? You thought so too? How is it now that you're alone? All my love could have been yours if only you stayed one night more On the eve of memories, the times spent return, trying to atone All my heart could have been yours if you took it from the core How sad is it, the way love died in front of us Because, as all things, nurturing it wasn't tasked It's too late now to find what went wrong But "One more step," I said, one more to find our song
Beginnings and endings don't matter now that they're gone Memories shattered into thousand pieces from one From the heart comes the deepest apology when we realize That what we had is never what we wanted or idolized This is love, that of which we can find no meaning Hearts are liars and brains are nothing but confusing We listen, trying to interpret both But we get tongue-tied in saying what mattered most There is nothing we could do but one thing remains Wherever you go, you can't erase love's littlest trace In the darkest of nights when you are about to leave "One more chance," I said, heart set to believe
You turned, that day, turned away from me I didn't call you back because I know you don't want to see It must have been pain, how joined souls are torn apart Must have been agony to know how hard it is to have a suffering heart You should, by now, because I see you on a white bed Eyes looking over, searching for the chance you wasted We met once again after years of living different lives I was struck, the memory in my head instantly dives I am reminded of the love we failed to save You smiled the saddest smiles dying hearts always gave Tears flowing, knees crumpling, I held your hands again "One more time," I pleaded until your last breath has been given

I am sad now. My past self really knew how to hurt me. ;-;
I think this poem is one of the straightforward ones out there and it tells a story. It's a sad, sad poem all throughout and I couldn't believe I wrote this back when I was seventeen. Man, hard times those were.
How about you? What do you think of this poem? Comment below. :)
